Drag race! Mercedes-AMG G63 vs. Jaguar F-Pace SVR vs. Alfa Stelvio QV

Yes, it’s time for another drag race courtesy of the folks over at CarWow in the United Kingdom. This time, the Mercedes-AMG G63 lines up against the Jaguar F-Pace SVR and the Alfa Romeo Stelvio Quadrifoglio Verde.

While Affalterbach’s G63 is obviously the heaviest of the three, it’s also the most powerful, thanks to a twin-turbo 4,0-litre V8 offering 430 kW and 850 N.m.

But that’s not to say the other two SUVs are slouches in the oomph department. The Jaguar F-Pace SVR’s supercharged 5,0-litre V8, for instance, churns out 405 kW and 680 N.m, while the Alfa Romeo Stelvio QV’s turbocharged 2,9-litre V6 generates 375 kW and 600 N.m.

Watch the video above to see the three high-performance SUVs do battle in a straight line, race from a rolling start and compete in a braking test…
